I was in heaven today
Finally somebody else understands
About the blind man holding the truth
In the palm of his hand

And if there’s trouble tonight
Sure as hell they’ll be taking him in
is he blamed for the fear in his eyes?
Or the shade of his skin?

And if the war don’t stop
There’ll be none worth fighting over
and if the war don’t stop
Brother we’ll find it so much harder
If the war don’t stop

I’m afraid to be black
Lord knows I’m ashamed being white
Still the bloods gonna run red
Down some alley tonight.

And if the war don’t stop
There’ll be none worth fighting over
and if the war don’t stop
Brother we’ll find it so much harder

We both don’t see eye to eye
All the changes that need to be made
we both don’t see eye to eye
All the reasons remain the same

And if the war don’t stop
And if the war don’t stop
There’ll be none worth fighting over
and if the war don’t stop
Brother we’ll find it so much harder
and if the war don’t stop,
There’ll be none worth fighting over
And if the war don’t stop
Brother we’ll find it so much harder
If the war don’t stop
